An Apology
In this issue of The News appears a news article an
nouncing the fact that this newspaper will again change
Its date of publication from FYiday morning to Wednesday
morning. In making this announcement we offer our read
ers and the public generally an apology, inasmuch as it
would not appear like sound business Judgement to continue
to tear down a fact that is already established in order to
do the thing over again.
In view of the fact MiliedgeviUe has two weekly news
papers, it has always occured to us that tee two piblica-
tions should be gotten out in succj a way as to afford the
people of Baldwin county and this section a sort cf semi
weekly news service. Recent changes in the publication
date of the other local paper has brought the two so close
together as to put before readers during five days of each
week no current 'Happenings. Hence, The News is taking
oocasicn to again g.-e up FYiday as it6 publication day,
after having taken similiar actoin about two years ago.
The change to be made next week in the publication
data of The News is for the express purpose of affording
the patrons of this paper a more satisfactory service, under
the new circumstances. The necessity of selecting a new
publication date, Is, as a matter of fact, regretable cn the
part of the management of The News, as it is a fact general
ly recognized in newspaper circles a poor idea to change
the date of a regular periodical except under conditions
that demand y ch procedure.
The farmers are receiving a lot of advice now about
cotton reduction. They do not need this advice, for they
aro business men and know how to handl e toe present situa
tion.
The rains of February are causing farmers to get a
lat 0 start, but those who started their plowing in the fall
are in better position than those who waited until thi3
month.
FOR V/HAT PURPOSE ARE YOU GOING TO GROW
COTTON
From the Augucta Chronicle:
The tinn when the bankers, business men and fanr.e s
of our state—our section—our country—are to gather to
del.berate about cotton, and to decide to what extent our
people sh.i.id, in wisdom, plant, cotton, is at hand all over
Georgia Thursday.
The Chronicle has receive* ctatement3 and satatistlc3
about cotton which it .as been urged, prior to these meet
ings, be laid before the business men and the planters,
these statements and statistics following the declaration
quoted :rom the Memphis Commercial-Appeal: “Reduction
of cottcn acreage the only sure way to avert dire calamity."
"Get it out of your head that anything but the supply
and t~e world's ability to buy fixes the price of cotton.’’ —
Dr. Bradford Knapp.
There is now enough cottcn in the world ts lact about
two r. cars. i
If you want to plant more cottcn after having read the
following figures then we must confess we have no more
to say to you. It is up to you!
The 10-year average amo. nt of American cottcn on hand
unspun at the beginning of each fiscal year, 1,200,00 bales.
At August 1, 1920, beginning present fiscal year, accord-
lng to Hester, unspun American Cotton, G,0S6,000 bales.
Probable amount of American cotton unspun July 31, 1921
now Indicated, more than 9,000,000 bales, or 3,000,000 bales
over larger i. an any amount ever carried over before.
The greatest consumption of all kinds of cotton ever
known in single year less than 21,000,000 bales.
The greatest consumption American cotton any. one year
ever known, lass than 15,000,000 bales.
Ten-year average consumption American cottcn prior .o
great war, 13,000,000 bales.
Ten-year average consumption of all klnd3 cotton Includ
ing America, prior to great war 17,500,000 bales.
Consumption of all kinds of cotton, 1919,1920, U. ri.,
Census figures, 18,181,000 bales. American crop of 13,090,-
000 this year indicates a world supply of all kinds of cot
ton, including Amtrlcan, of 29,0u0,000 bales.
The world during the present fiscal year is not likely
to consume more than 15,000,000 bales.

There’s some satisfaction to the farmers who plant peas

and third cannot in the event of no market for these pro
ducts next fall.
Uncle dam lost more than sixty million dollars on seoend
class mall last year. This too under Mr. Burleson’s “busi

An Atlanta man mailed a check to a policeman there a
few days ago. In his letter to the officer be thanked him

to keep the o-uec-k by the authorities.
Congress will have to find some way to get more money
If they continue their big appropriations. Though the In
come tax rate is the same this year as last, there will be
nothing like the same amount paid the government, due to
the off year and the break In markets.
The Woman’s Suffrage association has come out In favor

Never In the history of the state has such activity with
regard to the building of good and permanent roads. With
the county authorities cooperating with the state and fede
ral engineers and the .sums being spent by the combined

none in tho United States.
Every now ani then a new county project springs up *n
some section of the Etate and in a large number of cases,
if investigated, there are a good many of those behind the
movement who would "be willing to serve as a county of
ficer" if offered them afier the county is created. There
are enough counties in Georgia now.

month’s straight sleep would make us young again.

take to build that building?" "About two years" the boy-
replied." “My, thet was quite long, we could biuld it in
a year.” Next they cam e to the National Park Bank
building; “How long did ft take to biuld that building?”
the Englishman asked." About a year," was thb answer.
"That was a long time. We English would have built it in

It Isn”t So Much What You
Pay As What You Receive
We are in thorough sympathy with the universa desire to
reduce the costs of being well dressed.
But the cure is not in buying clothes at a low price, be
cause low prices will not buy clothes that are economicaL
It is much wiser to pay a few dollars more for garments
that are well made and of good fabrics, because they are
the only kind that are enduring in their wear and Satisfac

THAT DEPENDABLE FORD QUALITY
F ORD durability began back In 1903 when Henry Ford started experimenting
with Vanadium etejel and heat-treating processes. He knew that a more
exact tempering of 6teel for moto r car building must bo worked out. Vana
dium, is was learned, when added to malten steel, gives to that steel a greater tough
ness and adhesiveness. And now other alloys have, been found which are superior
to Vanadium. With the Ford Motor Company constant progress is the dally com
panion. Tho Ford products—Car, Truck, Tractor—grow in quality dally. Heat-treat
ing tempers each part so that It will best withstand the wear or tear o which It Is sub*
ected. Forj chemists and analysts have crated 1 for mulas and standard specifications
Tor every individual part of the Ford Car—not only for the steel but for everything
from pneumatic tires to top.
Ford durability isn’t a matter of accident, it is a matter of pains-taking thorough-
aess in laboratory and factory. The Ford is a car of precision—of standardized valu
es. Order your Ford car now. No matter haw fast they may be made the demand
multiplies faster. Order toltiy for wo can make fairly prompt deliveries—Runabout,
